Now any new user must have at least 10 edits until he can post external links (and some other keywords).

- And also www.sorbs.net. --MrTweek 09:48, 14 January 2012 (CET)

- block all usernames containing numbers
- block all usernames that result in zero hits on Google (reasoning that no real person will invent a new name just to register on Hitchwiki, everyone stick to their own online identity)
- please add more
